Miriam Makeba and Stokely Charmichael on their wedding day. She was the first South African black musician to leave on account of apartheid, and over the years many others would follow her. When South Africa’s Apartheid govt passed a new law that forbade blacks from performing in city halls, officials agreed to bribes (against the payment of a bond) enabling Miriam to get a visa to leave the country to present a film she was in called Come Back Africa at the Venice Film Festival. It won the Critic’s Prize.
The film, Miriam’s singing and afro hair-style created a sensation. Miriam later got introduced to Harry Belafonte in London, who then offered further performance platforms and took her to the U.S where she became an instant hit in the States for the way she fused jazz with traditional African songs. It was also Harry Belafonte who organized her US visa and she then performed for former US President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden. Among her other admirers were Marlon Brando, Bette Davis, Nina Simone and Miles Davis. #blackhistorymonth
